Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Covington who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
