Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Palmer who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
