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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rehoboth who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
