Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - New England, ND.

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New England 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
