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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Monroe who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
