Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Monroe who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
