Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Atlantic Highlands who are dependent to opoids such as 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 by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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 ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
