Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Coopersville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
