Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fall River who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce 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 put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan 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 plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
