Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Frontenac 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms 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 harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
