Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Blairsville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
