Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dupont who are dependent to opoids such as 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 provides more people with 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 works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
