Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Grover, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Grover who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
