Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Six Mile Run, PA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Six Mile Run who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
