Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Raymond who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant 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 opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
