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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Remsen who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
