Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Frankfort who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
