Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hoxie who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another 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 and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
