Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ransom who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person 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 stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
