Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Wartburg 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 dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives more people with access to this type of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and put into action, it wasn't intended to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally involve actual rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one part of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine can also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiate narcotics so it can be misused. For this reason it is important for anyone thinking about medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
