Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Elk Falls who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized 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 ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
