Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Landenberg, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Landenberg 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
