Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Fayette who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
