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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Haines Falls 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
