Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Marstons Mills who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, 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 opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be 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 work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
