Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Traverse City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier 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 manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
