Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gloversville 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
