Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Destin who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
