Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Van Etten 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 administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
