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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Summit Hill who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
