Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Westport who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful 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 approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
