Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Portsmouth who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in 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 treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can 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 treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
