Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gladwin 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 usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
