Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hale who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
