Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Antigo who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
