Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kykotsmovi Village who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical 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 also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
