Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Smyrna who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
