Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mc Farland who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
