Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in White Horse Beach who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
