Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Ashley Falls, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ashley Falls who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
