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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Leisenring 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 gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
