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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Minisink Hills who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
