Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Lawn, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lawn who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
