Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Welch who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery 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 they can easier detox and stay off drugs and not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would also include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine might also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery so that they are not at risk of relapse.
