Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Havre De Grace who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
