Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Anoka who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
