Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lecompton who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
