Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Oak Hill who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
