Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Newfield 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
