Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Caneadea, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Caneadea who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
