Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Elwell who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
