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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Souderton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
