Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Jordan Valley who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered 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 administered in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to include other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
