Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lorraine 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 usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
