Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dagsboro 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 provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
