Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Beeler who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce 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 conceived and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
