Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Port Clinton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
