Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Murray 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
