Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Engadine who are opiate dependent to 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 can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
