Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chula Vista who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
