Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Beverly who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
