Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Red Hill, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Red Hill 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of 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 works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
