Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Enterprise 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 gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
