Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Munster who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
