Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cadillac who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
