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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Leckrone who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
