Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Keller 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
