Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Venice 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 strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
