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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Morris who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
