(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 12, 2015 ) Pittsburgh, PA -- Buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opiate addictions, like heroin addiction, has been found to expand drug rehabilitation and treatment to those living in rural America, because the substance eliminates the need to attend a treatment center everyday for a dose of the opiate antagonist, according to Health Canal. Other means of treating opiate addictions, like methadone, require the supervision of a medical professional- making access to treatment for those in bucolic areas limited. A new study released declares the availability of drug treatment for rural America has widened with the induction of buprenorphine. Buprenorphine access has reduced the number of people living in areas without access to drug treatment from 49 percent to 10 percent, according to the Health Canal.
Drug Rehab Pittsburgh is an addiction treatment center in Pittsburgh accepting clients from the entire state of Pennsylvania. The treatment facility asserts similar medications for varying drug use disorders are in demand to offer treatment for addictions that are not opiate based to rural areas.
An associate from Drug Rehab Pittsburgh comments, "Buprenorphine is opening the horizons for addiction treatment in rural areas for opiate addictions- but what about other forms of addiction? We need to start implementing medications that can combat a variety of substance use disorders. Although opiate addictions may be the most prevalent, alcohol and the like cannot fall by the wayside. The effects of those untreated disorders are just as devastating as untreated opiate use disorders."
Buprenorphine has increased access to treatment to rural areas with ease. The Health Canal quotes Dr. Bradley Stein, "In the past, many people living in rural counties have had no practical way to get treatment. They have seen the greatest benefit from the introduction of buprenorphine and the growth in the number of physicians approved to prescribe the drug."
Drug Rehab Pittsburgh hopes its neighboring centers will seek to acquire certification to provide addicts with access to buprenorphine. The drug treatment facility specializes in drug rehab in Pittsburgh and heroin rehab in Pittsburgh. Drug Rehab Pittsburgh focuses on helping clients overcome the underlying causes of addiction through medically assisted drug treatment, intensive cognitive behavioral therapy, and multidimensional group therapy.
