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

Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in West Nottingham who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
