Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Menifee who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
