Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Harrisonburg who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
