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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Goffstown 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.

Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
