Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Spartanburg 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 usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
