Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Arnold who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
