Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Colfax who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings 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 engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that 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 types of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
