Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Charlton City, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Charlton City who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
