Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hoolehua who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
