Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Titusville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
