Buprenorphine is used in what is referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Mifflin 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 administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would typically involve actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to include other types of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their course of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
