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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Westdale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
