Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Concord 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
