Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fayville, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fayville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with 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 carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
