Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Johnson Creek 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
