Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lakewood Village who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
