Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Farmington who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
