Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Temple who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
