Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Buena Vista who are opiate dependent to 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish 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 concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
