Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hicksville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
