Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gardner who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can 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 meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
