Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Tuckahoe who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
