Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gilbertsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
