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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hilliards 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
