Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Citrus Heights who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed 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 as well as not participate in typical 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 multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
