Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Eau Claire 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
