Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Felton, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Felton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
