Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Westborough 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
