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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Oquossoc who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
