Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Spring Arbor who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
