Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Reading who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
