Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Kiowa who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can easier detox and stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and put into action, 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 therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
