Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Crystal Bay who are opiate dependent to 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 supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
