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

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Stockholm 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 by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
