Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lake Winnebago who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage 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 multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
