Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Monument 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 dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in recovery it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would also include actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it can be misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they'd like to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to include other forms of behavioral therapy & counseling and life repair actions into their course of rehabilitation so that they are not at risk of relapse.
