Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bangor who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned 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 ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
