Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Union City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
