Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Ringling who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would typically involve actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with professional addiction counselors to integrate other forms of behavioral therapy and life repair actions into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
