Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eastborough who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices 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 helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
