Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Smyrna who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
