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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Masonville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
