Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Oceanside who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
