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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Prudence Island who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept 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 include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
