Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ledgewood who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
