Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Garland who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate 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 control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
