Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Herndon, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Herndon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery 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 stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
