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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Newcastle who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
