Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Trenton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
