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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Villanova 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered 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 the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
