Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dublin who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
