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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Glenmont who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
