Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Madbury, NH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Madbury who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
