Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Union City who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
