Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Colcord 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 highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, 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 opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
