Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Blauvelt who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
