Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in North Haven who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize 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 envisioned and perpetuated, 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 therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. 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 can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
