Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Collinston who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical 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 "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
