Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Mount Juliet who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
