Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Stanhope who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
