Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Clarington 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
