Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Urbana who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
