Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gwynedd 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
