Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Elizabeth who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, 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 rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
