Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Windsor, NY.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Windsor who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
