Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in St. Charles who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they 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 primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
