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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Redfield who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
