Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Auburn Hills who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate 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 manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
