Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Holyoke 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
