Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hempstead 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
