Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Faith who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
