Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in De Berry who are dependent to opoids such as heroin or prescription pain killers. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only distributed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that they can focus and stay off drugs as well as not participate in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first formed and implemented, it wasn't meant to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally include actual therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger comprehensive recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is commonly misused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment plan they prefer to take, to also enlist the help of addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of behavioral therapy and self-help actions into their plan of treatment so that they feel confident about recovery.
