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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Churubusco who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish 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 envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
