Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Arenas Valley 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
