Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Moses Lake who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in 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 typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
