Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sharon Springs 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 may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
