Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Forest Hill who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
