Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Niverville, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Niverville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
