Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Yadkinville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
