Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Chase Mills, NY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chase Mills who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
