Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Newton Falls, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Newton Falls 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
