Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Fort Howard who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage 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" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
