Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dowagiac who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
