Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Talmage who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
