Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Keene 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 can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
