Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Montgomery 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 usually only administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
