Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Beulah who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
