Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Drummond Island who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
