Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Greenville, RI.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Greenville 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
