Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lawrenceville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
