Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ellis who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage 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 concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
