Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Norristown who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate 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 manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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 also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
