Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bloomington 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
