Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cartersville 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
