Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Glen Easton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
