Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Fort Covington, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fort Covington 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
