Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Clifton Springs who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
