Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Grove City, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Grove City who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
