Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Maple Grove who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
