Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sulphur Springs who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
