Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Duluth 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
