Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Minot who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
