Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in San Ysidro who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
