Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Laurel 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 distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would typically incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
