Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Vanceboro who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
