Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Petoskey 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. 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 integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
