Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jerome who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
