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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Vowinckel who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
