Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Iroquois who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
