Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Gordon who are opiate dependent to heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which provides more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can focus and stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first envisioned and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would also include actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a bigger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it is commonly abused. This is another reason it is highly suggested that anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also work with substance abuse counselors to integrate other methods of substance abuse therapy and life repair programs into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
