Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fenton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, 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 substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
