Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Holland, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Holland 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 only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
