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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rossville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
