Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Leesport who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
