Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kansas City who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
