Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Keatchie who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured 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 utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
