Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Filion who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
