Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Lenapah 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 distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person 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 primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment so that they are not at risk of relapse.
