Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Medford 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
