Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Placerville 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
