Buprenorphine Used in Treatment - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Post Mills, VT.

Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Post Mills 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.

When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.

Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
