Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lecompte 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 only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
