Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Conway Springs who are dependent to opoids such as 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
