Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Middleburg, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Middleburg 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 only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
