Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Brillion who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
