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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mechanicsville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
