Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eden Valley 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
