Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lawrenceville who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
