Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fremont who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
