Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Orangeburg, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Orangeburg who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
