Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Sharon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
