Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Nunnelly who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Dissimilar to 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 dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs and not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first realized and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also bring about the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes misused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they want to take, to also receive help from professional addiction counselors to incorporate other forms of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their course of treatment to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
