Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Bolivar who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured 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 someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
