Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Trenton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
