Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Buffalo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
