Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Allouez who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
