Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Durham who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of professional addiction counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
