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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Baldwin who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
