Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Germantown who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered 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 reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate 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 primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
