Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in La Harpe who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
