Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Nags Head who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
