Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Willow Grove 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
