Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in East Grand Forks who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies 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 they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
