Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Muse, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Muse who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
