Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kill Devil Hills who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form 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 they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
