Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Harpers Ferry who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
