Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Barksdale AFB who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form 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 manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
