Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lindsay 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
