Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rowlesburg 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 administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
