Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Highgate Springs 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 administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
