Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Burlington 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing 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 deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
