Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Clearlake Oaks who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
