Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Rhododendron who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant 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 opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they want to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to include other forms of substance abuse therapy and self-help actions into their plan of rehabilitation to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
