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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Palmyra who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. 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 addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
