Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Kennewick who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
