Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Linwood who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
