Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fowler who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
