Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nathrop who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
