Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Avoca who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
