Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Scottsdale who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
