Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Barre who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
