Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Melrose who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
