Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Holyrood 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
