Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wichita who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they 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 perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
