Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Silverton 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
