Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Robbinsdale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
