Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lynchburg who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
