Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Hendrix 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
