Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Demorest who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
