Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Winslow who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
