Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Kingfield, ME.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kingfield 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
