Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Philipsburg who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
