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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Treadwell 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
