Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Dennison who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
