Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Archbald 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
