Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Center Harbor, NH.

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Center Harbor who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
