Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Newtonsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
