Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Oxford who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
