Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Holton who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical 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 treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
