Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Armstrong 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of 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 helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
