Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mapleville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form 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 minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
