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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Inwood who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
