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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nonantum who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized 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 focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
