Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chelmsford who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
