Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Trout Lake who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
