Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Carbondale who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and 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 primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
