Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dewitt who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
