Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Park who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
