Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in East Amherst who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. 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 integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
