Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hitterdal who are dependent to opoids such as 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
