Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Oketo who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed 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 ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
