Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Okaton who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
