Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Snydertown, PA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Snydertown 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical 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 treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
