Buprenorphine is utilized in a type of treatment known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people in Ganado who are dependent to opoids such as prescription pain killers or heroin. Not like Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only administered in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine may be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices which provides easier access to this form of treatment.
When Buprenorphine is utilized in treatment it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine works to manage and reduce these withdrawal symptoms so that they can easier detox and stay off drugs as well as not engage in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first conceived and perpetuated, it wasn't intended to be a stand-alone activity but rather only part of a "whole-patient" treatment plan that would ideally incorporate actual therapy practices for substance abuse and addiction. Buprenorphine use would only be one piece of a bigger comprehensive plan.
Buprenorphine might also produce some of the euphoric effects of other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone deciding on medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they want to take, to also work with addiction counselors to incorporate other methods of substance abuse therapy & counseling and life repair programs into their plan of recovery to ensure they feel confident about recovery.
