Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mammoth, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mammoth who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
