Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in North Hills who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
