Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Shoreacres who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only 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 treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
