Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Scranton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
