Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Harborcreek who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
