Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cokato 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
