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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Parryville 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
