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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Poughkeepsie who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
