Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Oaks 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, 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 part of a bigger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
