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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glen who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be 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 receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
