Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in El Campo 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
