Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Morgantown who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
