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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Montandon who are dependent to opoids such as 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 administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
