Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lacota who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike 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 provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency 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 is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
