Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Alum Bridge who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
