Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Andrews Air Force Base 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 usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
