Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Audubon who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like 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 dispensed by qualifying doctors which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs and not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be abused. For this reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to integrate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
