Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Chatham, NY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chatham 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
