Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Altamont 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 can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
