Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Charlotte who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this 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 professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
