Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Richmond Hill who are opiate dependent to 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 by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can 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 intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
