Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lake St. Croix Beach who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
