Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Woodstock who are dependent to opoids such as 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 by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
