Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ronkonkoma who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
