Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Bradley who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms 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 carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
