Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Putnam who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured 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 going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
