Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Herculaneum who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived 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 include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
