Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sturgeon Bay 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about 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 recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
