Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Junedale, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Junedale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
