Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Clarkrange who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
