Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Coleman who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation so that they feel confident about recovery.
