Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Little Suamico who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
