Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Claremore who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, 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. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
