Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Fremont, NH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fremont 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
