Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Tecumseh who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form 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 reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
