Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Woodstock who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage 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 concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity 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 part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
