Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Canonsburg who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
