Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Eufaula who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
