Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Vermillion who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual 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 formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
