Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Estill Springs who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and implemented, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment 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 larger comprehensive treatment plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. For this reason it is highly suggested that anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their plan of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
