Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ruther Glen 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works 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 concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
