Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hubbardston, MA.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hubbardston 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 administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
