Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Robbinsville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
