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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pocono Lake who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
