Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Leonardtown who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
