Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Stevensville 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 administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived 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 ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
