Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Branchville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
