Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Auburn who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
