Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Antrim, NH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Antrim who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
