Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in White Pigeon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
