Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Williamsville 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
