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

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

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
