Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Corvallis 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
