Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Leoti 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
