Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sylvia who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish 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 conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
