Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Abita Springs who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
