Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Crystal Lake 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful 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 multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
