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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Frankfort who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like 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 treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
