Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Frankfort who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
