Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Mohrsville, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mohrsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed 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 experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
