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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gardner who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
