Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Apache Junction who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
