Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Irvington who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
