Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Millersville who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
