Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lancaster who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce 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 route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
