Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kellysville who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
