Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Enid who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
