Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - North Hoosick, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in North Hoosick 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
