Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lansing who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized 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 typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
