Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Waukon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
