Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Cairnbrook 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 usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically include actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery method they want to take, to also receive help from substance abuse counselors to integrate other types of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of rehabilitation to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
