Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Waterville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
