Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Watsontown 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
