Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Big Rapids 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
