Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Rocheport 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 in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
