Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Poestenkill who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of 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 control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
