Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Blanchard 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 may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
