Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in El Dorado who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
