Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Allston, MA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Allston who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
