Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Owendale who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are 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 person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
