Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Leonardville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
