Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - West Falmouth, MA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in West Falmouth who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used 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 individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
