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

Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Warren 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.

Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
