Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Plainwell who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 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 withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
