Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Girard who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
