Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Alma who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, 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 part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
