Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rhodes 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
