Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lone Rock who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
