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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Watertown who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
