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

Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Laconia 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
