Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Allentown who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
