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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Newark Valley who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
