Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gagetown who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse 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 opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
