Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Casa Grande who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
