Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Derby who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
