Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Scipio Center who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful 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 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 plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
