Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Desert Hot Springs who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
