Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chambersburg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate 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 manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
