Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Boiling Springs who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
