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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Terre Hill who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
