Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in West Columbia 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended 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 treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include 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.
