Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Campbellsburg 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with 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 carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
