Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Granite Falls who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
