Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in De Soto who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
