Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Llano who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
