Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Saguache who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
