Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Carmel who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
