Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ogema who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
