Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Briggsdale who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
