Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sandown, NH.

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sandown who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.

Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
