Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Williamsville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
