Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Maytown, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Maytown who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled 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 treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
