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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Titusville 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
