Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Spring Lake who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form 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 works 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 concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
