Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Belleville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
