Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pacific Beach 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
