Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Chugiak who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to 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 provides 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
