Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Aurora who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
