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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Castile 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
