Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Greeley, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Greeley who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
