Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Granville, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Granville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
