Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Marshallville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
