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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lock Haven who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
