Buprenorphine is used in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Etoile who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is only allowed to be administered in strictly controlled clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices which supplies more people with access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is used in treatment it can help individuals who are experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that the individual can stay off drugs as well as not engage in harmful drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment idea was first envisioned and implemented, 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 therapy practices for opioid dependency and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing treatment plan.
Buprenorphine will also cause some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it can be abused. This is another reason it is crucial for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment method they'd like to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy and life repair actions into their course of recovery to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
