Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hamburg who are dependent to opoids such as 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
