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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Summerdale who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
