Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Gilbert who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used 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 individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, 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 opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
