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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jamestown who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
