Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Henderson who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
