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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cragsmoor 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
