Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Jackson Center 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
