Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Goodland who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish 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 idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
