Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Catharine 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
