Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in New Haven who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out 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 treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
