Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Warwick who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
