Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hillsboro who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
