Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Citra who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
