Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in New Straitsville who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would typically incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they'd like to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
