Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Huntsville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
