Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Somerville 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
