Buprenorphine is used in a type of treatment referred to as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in DeCordova 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 only allowed to be dispensed in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is going through the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to control and minimize these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not carry out harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted approach that would ideally incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine can also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the recovery route they'd like to take, to also enlist the help of substance abuse counselors to incorporate other types of behavioral therapy & counseling and self-help programs into their course of recovery so that they feel confident about recovery.
