Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Hinsdale, NH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hinsdale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
