Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - New Paltz, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Paltz who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered 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 going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
