Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alplaus, NY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Alplaus 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
