Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Berwyn who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
