Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chester who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
