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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hendersonville who are dependent to opoids such as 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 may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
