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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kingman who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
