Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fredonia who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
