Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Casper who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
