Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Towanda who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
