Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pikesville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
