Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Atchison who are opiate dependent to 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 may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
