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

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

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
