Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hickory 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
