Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hitchcock who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
