Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Olean, NY.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Olean 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
