Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Cataumet, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cataumet who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
