Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Brighton 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
