Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Appleton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this 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 integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
