Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Peebles who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
