Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Crouseville, ME.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crouseville who are dependent to opoids such as 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
