Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - West Springfield Town, MA.

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Springfield Town 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
