Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Brandon who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Unlike Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed 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 helps to control and reduce 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 idea was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" approach that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger all-encompassing 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 deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery plan they prefer to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
