Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sand Fork who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
