Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Olean who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type 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 helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
