Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ashland 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
