Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Newark who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
