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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beaver Falls who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
