Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in South Holland who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
