Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Cody who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
