Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beaverville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
