Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Layton who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. 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 administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type 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 the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful 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 "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
