Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mount Vernon who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
