Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Clarkton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce 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 idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
