Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lafayette who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
