Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gooding who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
