Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Great Barrington who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
