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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Center Moriches 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
