Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Shaktoolik who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
