Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Columbus who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
