Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Dover AFB who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned 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 incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
