Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cockrell Hill who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
