Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Groton 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate 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 primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
