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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lewiston 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
