Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Iola 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
