Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hastings who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
