Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Pleasant Prairie who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
