Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hudson who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
