Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Free Soil who are dependent to opoids such as 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 can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
