Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Jeffersonville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
