Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Garrett Park who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
