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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hoffmeister who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
