Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - North Granville, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in North Granville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
