Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Verona Beach, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Verona Beach 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
