Buprenorphine is utilized in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Stringtown who are opiate dependent to 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 administered in doctor's offices which provides more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed 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 incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. For this reason it is crucial for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
