Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jamestown 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
