Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Pageland who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, 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 substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
