Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Chattanooga 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 administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
