Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Holland, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Holland who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
