Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Lisbon who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can 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 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 and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
