Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Chepachet, RI.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chepachet 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

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