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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pittsburgh 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
