Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Campbelltown who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
