Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Timblin, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Timblin who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
