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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rosedale who are dependent to opoids such as 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 in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
