Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - North Walpole, NH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in North Walpole who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
