Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Sycamore who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
