Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Deer Park who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
