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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Remsenburg who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
