Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - North Blenheim, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in North Blenheim who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps 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 idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
