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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cicero who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
