Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Madison Heights who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
