Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Farson who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
