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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Poland who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in 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 multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
