Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Newton Upper Falls who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
