Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eureka who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
