Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cumberland 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
