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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Paupack 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
