Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Alvordton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
