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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Presto who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
