Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Greenville 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 distributed 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 administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
