Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kelso 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
