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

Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in North Salem who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish 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 concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
