Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Malvern, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Malvern 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
