Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Nora Springs who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier 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 diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
