Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Manhattan, NV.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Manhattan who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
