Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Dennis Port, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dennis Port who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
