Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Elsie 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 only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
