Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Woods Hole, MA.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Woods Hole who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
