Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lone Elm who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
