Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Baker City who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
