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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rushville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
