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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rochester Mills who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
