Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Garden City who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
