Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Barronett who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
