Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Garden City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
