Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Charenton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
