Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in White Plains who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
