Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in El Centro 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 only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with 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 brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
