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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cleverdale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
