Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Newington 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
