Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sedan who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
