Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Morrisville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
