Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Atlantic Beach who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize 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 concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
