Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Princewick who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
