Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Aquebogue, NY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Aquebogue who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier 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 associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
