Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in La Grange who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
